Today was no ordinary day for little Lala—it was her first time joining CEO Kien on a snail-harvesting adventure! The morning air was fresh, the fields glistened with dew, and excitement danced in Lala’s big eyes as she followed Kien down the muddy path with a tiny basket strapped to her back.
CEO Kien, always full of energy and patience, showed Lala how to search for snails hidden beneath leaves and nestled in damp soil. At first, Lala was hesitant—her little hands trembled each time she reached into the mud. But with Kien’s gentle encouragement and a few giggles from watching him get his hands dirty too, she quickly got the hang of it.
“Look, Lala! This is a big one!” Kien laughed, holding up a particularly large snail for her to see. Her eyes widened with awe, and soon she was on a roll, collecting one snail after another, squealing every time she found a particularly slippery one.
They made a great team. Kien took care of the deeper spots while Lala focused on the smaller puddles and shallow water areas. Her basket began to fill up fast. Occasionally, she would pause to watch the snails slowly crawling or to admire the way the morning light hit the water.
Despite the mud and the mess, Lala was glowing with joy. She didn’t mind the dirt on her clothes or the snail trails on her fingers—she was having the time of her life. CEO Kien was proud of her, and it showed in the way he cheered her on and smiled warmly every time she brought him another handful of snails.
By the end of the day, they had gathered more snails than expected. Lala was tired, her little legs muddy and her hair slightly tangled, but she clutched her basket with pride. She looked up at CEO Kien and beamed.
“This was the best day ever,” she whispered.
And truly, it was—because memories like these are what stay forever.
